"Heartless, huh? I think Fang is pretty interesting," I said.

"Interesting? Fang yelled at you and embarrassed you in front of the whole school. Fang is such a jerk!" Zack yelled.

	2. High school in California

High school in California

It is a beautiful morning and the sun is rising in the sky. As I was watching the sunrise, I could hear my dad yelling from downstairs. "Max! Did you pack your bags for California?" Dad yelled.

"Yes, dad," I yelled back as I sighed and got my bags. Today, I am going to go to California. It has been 5 years since I came to New York with my dad. My mom and my twin brother and my stepbrother live in California. I used to live with them, but my dad works in a music company. He wanted me to perform in his studio so I came to New York to be a part of my dad's music company. I am actually a top celebrity and I have to say that my dad is the best dad ever. Because of him, I am now a popular celebrity, but there are tons of thing that I don't like. I don't like the stupid media who would waste their time to interview me and bug me about my personal life. I really hate it. I never even have real friends because whenever somebody became friends with me, it is probably because of my money or frame. So, I have decided that I will go to California and be in a disguise to live a normal life without being caught in the frame and media.

I went in front of the mirror and looked at myself. I have blond hair. I grabbed a brown hair wig and put it on my head to hide my blond hair and then I put some dark makeup on my cheeks to hide my fair skin. I looked at myself once again and noticed that I do not look myself. I disguised myself well enough for the people to figure out that I am Maxine Ride. I giggled as I remembered my fake name. My fake name that I am going to use in my disguise is Maya Ride.

I sighed as I ran downstairs and hugged dad.

"Ready to go to California, sweetheart?" Dad asked.

"Yes, dad," I said. "Can't wait to chat with mom."

Dad smiled as we drove to the airport and got on the plane.

After a couple of hours . . .

The plane landed at the airport in California as I got out of the plane with my dad and got out of the airport and felt the cold air of the winter in California.

"Max!" I heard my mom said. I turned around, finding mom with my brothers.

I ran to her and hugged her. "Hi, mom!" I said. Even though she is my stepmom, she always treated me and my twin brother as her own children. Of course, they know about my disguise.

"Hey, Max!" I heard Iggy, my twin brother, said.

"Hey, Iggy!" I said as I hugged him. Iggy is his nickname, but his actual name is James Ride. I looked at my side and saw my stepbrother, Zack. "Hey, Zack!" I said as I hugged him.

Even though Zack is my step brother but me, Iggy and Zack are really close siblings.

"Hi honey," I heard dad said as he kissed my mom on her lips as he hugged her.

"Let's go home," Zack said as he took my backpack.

We got in the car and drove to our home. The car stopped in front of a big house.

"Wow! Did you rebuild the house, mom?" I asked.

"Yes, Max! It was Zack and Iggy idea," mom said.

"That's awesome, bros," I laughed as I hugged my brother and went to our new built house.

We had our dinner and I went out my room to get everything packed for tomorrow's school

We had our dinner and I went out my room to get everything packed for tomorrow's school.

The next morning . . .

I woke up as got fresh and wore my school outfit.

I wore my brown wig and put some dark makeup on my skin and went downstairs and saw Zack and Iggy are eating breakfast

I wore my brown wig and put some dark makeup on my skin and went downstairs and saw Zack and Iggy are eating breakfast. "Hi, Zack! Hi, Iggy!" I said as I b grabbed my breakfast. "Where are mom and dad?"

"Mom is at work and dad is at work too, I guess. They have a date tonight, so I guess they want to come home early so they went to their work early," Zack explained.

I smiled and ate my breakfast and said, "So, I am in grade 12, huh?"

"Yeah, me and you are in the same grade, but I checked your time table. We only have English together," Iggy said.

"Oh, and Zack in in grade 12, I am assuming?" I asked.

"Yeah, grade 11," Zack said.

"Oh, Zack got a girlfriend," Iggy said.

"Iggy got a girlfriend too," Zack said.

"Hey, she is not my girlfriend!" Iggy said as he had a tint of blush.

"Oh sure," Zack laughed. "Max, you should see Iggy around Ella. Ella is out a friend and you would believe how close Ella and Iggy are. If you don't call that love then I guess Iggy doesn't even know about love."

"Oh, so Iggy has a crush, huh?" I chuckled.

"I don't okay. We are only friends," Iggy said.

"Sure bro, keep thinking that," Zack laughed as he got his backpack.

"Iggy is driving us to school?" I asked.

"Yeah, he is," Zack said.

We got our backpack and got out of the house and got in the car and drove to our school. I got out of the car as I saw some students were looking at me and some girls were drooling over Iggy and Zack. Wow! Are my brothers that popular? I heard that Zack and Iggy are quite popular in school but I never knew that he is this popular?

Iggy and Zack dropped me to my first-period class when we heard a girl running towards Zack.

"Hi, Nudge!" Zack said as he hugged her.

"Hi Zack," Nudge said as she kissed Zack on his cheek.

"Zack's girlfriend?" I asked Iggy.

"Yeah," Iggy said.

"Zack, this is my sister, Maya," Zack said, introducing me with my fake name.

"Oh my goodness! Are you that sister of Zack who he always talked about? Girl, you are so pretty," Nudge said as she hugged me.

"Hi, Nudge?" I said as I thought, man, this girl is so hyper.

"So, the class is going to start in a couple of minutes, so bye," Iggy said as he hugged me and went to his own class. Zack and Nudge did the same while I went to my own class.

I went to my class as I saw everybody sitting on their seat. I searched for a seat and saw an empty seat beside a boy who was wearing a simple t-shirt.

That boy was on his laptop typing.

"Hi!" I said to the boy.

"You are talking to me?" That boy said as he looked at me in confusion.

"Yes, can I sit beside you?" I asked.

The whole class looked at me as if I am some kind of weirdo.

The boy seemed shocked and said, "you want to sit beside me?"

"Yes, of course," I said.

"Hey new girl, that boy is an emo," a girl said. "You shouldn't waste your time on that emo kid."

Emo kid? I looked at that girl and rolled my eyes as I dropped my backpack beside that boy and sat beside him as the whole class gasped.

This is so weird, but whatever. I took my seat and looked at the emo kid and saw him looking at me confusingly. What the heck is wrong with everybody in this class?


	3. Embarrassed by Fang

Embarrassed by Fang

It has been a couple of days since I started sitting with the emo kid whose name in Nick. But his nickname is Fang and I found out that I have all classes with him. I also found out that Nudge is his younger sister, which was kind of confusing since Fang barely talks and Nudge always talks a lot.

I was currently sitting on my seat in the cafeteria and Fang was sitting across me, typing on the laptop. I sighed. Man, why can't he talk?

Fang was wearing his usual outfit.

"Fang? Can you talk to me?" I asked him as I twisted my fork in my noodles.

"That's more that a 1000 time you said that," Fang said angrily. "Listen, girl, I don't know why you are trying to be friends with me, but I really don't like you being sitting beside me and forcing me to talk, okay? I suggest you sit beside somebody else."

"But why? Why can't we be friends? You don't have any friends so why can't I be your friend?" I asked him. This man is really weird. I mean, even after wearing a brown hair wig and dark makeup, some boys actually tried to be friends with me which I, of course, didn't like since they seemed like they don't have any self-respect but Fang is trying to avoid me which caught my interest.

"I don't like you okay?" He said.

"Who said to like me? I only want to be your friend, nothing else," I said.

Fang sighed as he took my noodles and dumped it on my head in front of all the students. All the students gasped as he said, "do you hate me now? Please stay away from me!" Fang yelled, making the students gasped as Fang went away.

"Maya! You okay?" I heard Nudge said as she ran towards me and hugged me. "Fang is always so rude to you!"

Iggy and Zack ran towards me and said, "you okay?"

"That was so cool," I said. I really do admire Fang's bravery. And honestly, no man have ever done that to me so Fang was making me more interested in him.

"What?!" Nudge yelled.

"Max! Fang is an emo kid!" Iggy, my twin brother, yelled.

"Nobody talks to that man," Zack, my step-brother, said. "And you want to be friends with that man who doesn't give a damn about school?"

"Maybe more than friends," Nudge, Zack's girlfriend said.

"No way, you are not going to be friend with somebody as heartless as him," Iggy said.

"Heartless, huh? I think Fang is pretty interesting," I said.

"Interesting? Fang yelled at you and embarrassed you in front of the whole school. Fang is such a jerk!" Zack yelled.

"I know and that's why I am taking an interest on Fang. Fang might be challenging to win over but he is pretty sweet. Never in my life, a man has talked to me like that and that why I am interested in Fang," I said. "Trust me, even if he is a challenge for me, I will still win him over."

Iggy and Zack sighed.

"I will talk to Ella to give you a change of dress," Iggy said as he got his phone out and texted Ella who Iggy has a crush on. Ella is a sweet girl and man, she is so shy around Iggy. Maybe she likes Iggy too?

That night. . .

I was on my bed and was playing some games on my phone but all I could think of is about Fang. I have known for the only a couple of days, but I find him so different than other men. Fang is really handsome. . . His eyes are beautiful and his lips. . . I blushed as I realized what I was thinking. What the heck is wrong with me? Even after he embarrassed me in front of our school's students, instead of hating him, I took an interest in him? But why? I started to remember how rudely he was talking to me. Then, I remembered how cute he looks when he gets mad and bit his lips when he is confused. . . His abs. . . Arrghhh. . . What the heck am I even thinking? This is not love, is it?

After a couple of days . . .

I went to school again and was ignored my Fang, but of course, I am not going to give up on him. I tried talking to him, but as usual, he kept behaving rudely to me. So, I decided to talk to him after school. As the school was over, I finally grabbed Fang's arm and pulled him behind the school.

"What the heck?! Why did you bring be here, Maya!?" Fang yelled.

"I need you to answer some of my questions," I said as I looked at him. "Why do you hate me so much?"

Fang looked shocked but ignored me and was going to go near the parking lot when I grabbed his arm and pushed him on the wall.

"Why do you hate me so much?" I asked Fang again.

Fang seemed angry. "You want to know why I hate you so much!?" Fang yelled. "It is because I hate liars and you are nothing but a liar!"

My heart filled with sadness. Fang thinks of me as a liar? But why?


	4. Broken Heart

Broken Heart

"What do you mean?" I asked Fang.

"You are a liar, Ms. Maxine Ride!" Fang yelled.

I gasped. How did he know my real name? "How . . ."

"You think I am so dumb?" Fang yelled. "I recognized that you are Maxine Ride when you came to school but you lied! You lied about your identity! But why, huh? You are such a liar! I always hate liars and you are nothing but a liar and you want me to be your friends!? What's wrong with you?!"

I stepped back. Fang's each word hurts me. I felt like I was torn apparent. Never I felt like this when somebody yelled at me. "Fang . . ."

"OH SHUT UP! YOU DON'T NEED TO GIVE ME A FAKE EXPLANATION ABOUT YOUR DAMN THING! NOW, GET OUT OF HERE AND STAY AWAY FROM ME, MS. MAXINE RIDE!" Fang yelled. "YOU ARE ONLY A LIER!"

I looked at Fang as I could feel my eyes getting watery, but I held my tears as I said, "you are right, Fang. I am only a liar . . . I . . . Should have understood that you hate me . . . Um . . . Thank you, Fang."

I ran out of the school as I saw Iggy and Zack looked at me and Fang in shock, but I ignored them and ran to the home and went to my room and shut the door and started to cry, silently. I didn't know why, but Fang's words hurt me so much. _Why do his words hurt me so much?_

 **Fang POV**

After I yelled at Maxine Ride, that lier, I sighed as I saw James and Zack. Those are the most popular boys in our school and they would always hang out with Maxine but why?

Zack came near me and slapped me and James grabbed hold of my shirt collar.

"How dare you hurt our sister!" James yelled.

"What?" I asked. Is Maxine ride their sister?

"You want to know why she disguised herself?!" James yelled. "So that people don't love her for her money. Being a celebrity means that you have tons of Koen and frame and people always took advantage of my sister and that's why she thought that if she disguised herself as a normal person then people probably love her because of her, not because of her money but you . . . You yelled at her!"

"Forget it, Iggy. We are talking about Fang, who only knows how to hurt people, he will never understand Max," Zack said.

 _Iggy is James nickname and Max is Maxine's nickname? I could feel James is looking at me with sadness. I couldn't help but feel bad. What the heck? Why am I feeling bad for a girl that I hate so much!? She is a lier! I have hurt other people too, but she is different. The way she ran away to home . . . The way she cried . . . Goodness! What is wrong with me? How come her cry affect me so much?_

"Max is very stubborn, Fang," Zack said. "If she does anything to hurt herself, I will make sure to break all the bones of yours."

Suddenly, Iggy's phone rang. Iggy got the phone out and said, "It's Max."

"Put the phone in loud speaker. I need to talk to her too," Zack said.

Iggy nodded and clicked on the loud speaker and said, "Hi Max."

"Iggy . . ." I could hear Max's voice, but it was filled with sadness. "Iggy, I am going to California . . ."

Zack and Iggy seemed shocked.

"What? But why?" Zack said.

"I don't know . . ." I could hear Max's voice cracking up. "I guess, I like California better . . . Plus . . . I am going to hate a concert so I guess California is going to be a good city to perform the concert . . ."

"But Max . . ."

"No Zack, please, I don't like . . . New York anymore, please . . ." I could understand that Max's was trying to hold her tears. "I want to go to California. I am going to the airport now, so tell, mom and dad that I am going to the airport. Bye!"

Zack looked at me with anger. "After 5 years, we got Max with us in New York and because of you, she is going to California! You know how does that feel like!"

I felt upset. _How could I do such thing to a person?_

"You called Max a lier, right? But you are worse than her because you are only a heartless emo boy who doesn't know anything but to hurt people," Iggy said.

"I am going to go to the airport to stop Max," Zack said as he got in his car and drove away.

"If Max didn't have a crush on you then I would probably beat you up," Iggy said as he went away.

I sighed.

I came home and went to my room and laid on my bed and the only thing that was on my head were is Max going to be alright? _Why did I have to hurt Max like that? Goodness, how come I am feeling like this when I know Max for only a couple of days?_


	5. Stay in NY, Max

Stay in NY, Max

 **Max's POV**

I was sitting in the airport when I felt somebody taps on my shoulder. I turned around, finding Zack. I forced a smiled and said, "Hey Zack."

"Max, we are going home," Zack said.

"We are not," I said. "I am going to California to do my career over there."

"Max, I don't why, but I think the reason for you to act like this is because of Fang, right?" Zack asked.

"Fang didn't say anything wrong, Zack. Fang is right. I shouldn't deceive people. That's wrong. Plus, I want to go to California to clear my head," I said.

"Max . . . Please, we got you after 5 years . . ."

"Zack, please . . ."

"Max, we missed you," Zack said as he looked at me. "I love you. You are my sister, Max. Even touch, we are step brother and sister, I have always considered you as my sister. Please, stay with us in our house, in New York. If Fang is the problem . . ."

"Zack, Fang is not the problem . . . I don't know . . . I never felt so strong about any boy . . . I . . . Am so confuse, Zack," I said as I felt like crying as I remembered Fang's cruel words. "Zack, I heard that boys love me and I never took any interest in any man, because I want somebody to love me for me, not more my money or frame. When I went to school in NY, I saw Fang and he is different. Fang is not crazy about girls or not a player as I find some boys to be so, I thought that maybe he is a good person so I want to be friends with him . . . But . . . I don't know when . . . I started to feel . . . Different about him . . ." I said as I looked at Zack. "The man that I fell in love for the first time is Fang and he hates me."

Zack looked at me in shock. "Max, Fang doesn't deserve you . . ."

"I know," I said as I held my tears. "Fang deserves a nice woman who doesn't lie."

"Max, I didn't mean that . . ."

"Zack, I don't . . . I can't be in NY. I want to go to California and do my career there. I don't think I can concentrate on my work in NY."

"Why? That's because of Fang too?" Zack asked. "Max, listen, we will be with you all the time, okay. You don't need to chase Fang to be your friend anymore. Forget Fang."

"It is not easy, Zack," I said as I could feel some tears dropping.

"Max, how about you stay with us atleast for a few months and then go to California for your career. You have a concert tonight anyway," Zack said.

Oh, I forgot about the concert. I nodded and hugged Zack. Zack hugged me back and kissed my forehead. "You go and seat in the car. I will cancel your flight."

I nodded and went out of the airport and sat in the car. No matter what I was doing, Fang's words weren't getting out of my head. I started to sob.

Later at night . . .

Zack and I came home and I went to the concert with dad. I went to the concert and got changed into a simple outfit and got our my wing and curled my hair a bit. The picture of my outfit is below.

I got out of the changing room and went to the concert stage where I saw my band members and tons of fans

I got out of the changing room and went to the concert stage where I saw my band members and tons of fans. I fake smiled at my band members and the fans. There were a lot of video cameras and the concert was going to be put on the television.

"Hello everybody!" I fake laughed.

The fans cheered as choose of hellos were heard from the fans.

"Today we are going to perform you a wonderful song! Hope you like it!" I laughed as I started to sing.

After I finished the song the fans clapped as they cheered.

"Alright people! That is for today and make sure to be at our next concert!" I said.

"We love you Maximum Ride!" The crowd cheered.

I smiled and our band and I went in the backstage. I sighed. The concert was tiring.

"Max?" I heard dad said.

"Yes, dad?" I said.

"You okay? None of your smiles was like before concert smile," Dad said.

"I am the okay dad," I fake smiled.

"Let's go home," Dad said.

"Okay," I said as we drove to home.


	6. Partners in school assignment

I went to my room and laid on the bed, thinking about what Fang said before. Fang's words were asking me cry and upset yet I felt so much love and care towards him. It's the first time I have feel this way about a man. I heard a knock on the door and Iggy came in the room.

I sat on my bed and Iggy sat beside me. "Hey Iggy!"

"Max, you okay?" Iggy asked.

"Yeah," I said.

"You seemed pretty upset and you didn't even smile properly," Iggy said.

I faked a smile and said, "Iggy, I am fine, alright? No need to worry."

"Are you thinking about Fang?" Iggy asked.

Crap! How does Iggy know that? "Well, yeah."

"Max, Fang is not a good person so I would say that you should forget about what he said and ignore him."

"It is easy to do that when you don't have any special feeling towards that person," I said. "Iggy, Fang is different . . . I mean . . . Yeah, he did said a lot of hurtful things and he hates me . . . But it is hard to hate the person you love even if that person you love hates you."

Iggy seemed shock. "Since when did you fell like in love?"

I shaked him playfully and said, "because I didn't had crush or had any boyfriend before doesn't mean that I am not going to fall in love."

Iggy rolled his eyes and then patted on my head. "I don't like the idea of you liking Fang though."

I looked away.

Iggy sighed and got out of the room as I thought, it's hard to hate a person that you truly love, Iggy. I don't think I can ever hate Fang but I am going to ignore him because I don't want to trouble him. Fang only think of me a lier which is enough to break my heart. I don't want to be hurt like that again.

the next day at school . . .

I ignored Fang and I didn't even sit beside him. In the lunch time, I sat with Iggy and Zack and ate my lunch. it was quiet lonely to not to be able to be with Fang but I knew Fang hate me. I sighed. thinking that Fang hated made me cry. the bell rang as I went to my English class and sat on the most far seat from Fang. fang looked at me for a while and I could see him becoming tense. the teacher came in the class room snd handed us the assignment.

"Hello class, this assignment is due at the end of the month and I want you to work with a partner. I already got the parents for you. you should work with your partner and learn about each other's life in details and make a song about it and perform it at the end of the month. whoever's song is the best song from this class will own a prize," the teacher said.

we all nodded as our teacher started to announce our names with our partner's.

"Maxine Ride and Nick Griffiths," the teacher announced.

I was shocked and I looked at Fang who was also shocked. Nick is Fang's actual name so I was pared with him?


	7. Zack is a freck?

I avoided Fang the whole day even though we are partners for the assignment. I was taking my book out of my locker when I heard somebody knocking on a locker. I looked aside and saw Fang. I looked away and went back to my locker when I heard Fang said, "Hi Maya,"

I looked at Fang. even though he know that I am Maxine in disguise, he didn't told anybody about it. "What is it, Fang?"

"Max, we got am assignment together," Fang said.

"Yeah, I know. But you don't want to work with me, right? Don't worry, I will tell the teacher to change our partners," I said. my heart was breaking. I love Fang but I was hurt knowing that Fang wouldn't ever love me because he hates liars.

"No, it's okay," Fang said. "We should work on this assignment after school."

"Okay, " I said.

"So after school, we will go to my home?" Fang asked.

"Alright," I said.

After school . . .

I went to my locker and saw that Zack wasn't there. _Where is Zack? his locker is beside me._ I had to inform Zack that I and Fang are going to work together so I will come home later. I started to look around the highschool and somehow got lost since I really didn't know this school well. I guess, I am in the basement as I could see that the hallways were kind of quiet. I started to made my way towards a classroom when I heard some weird noises. I went near a class room where the door was locked.

"Mmmmhhhhh . . ." I could heard a female voice beside the door.

I opened the door and my eyes wided. Zack and Nudge was in the classroom, making out. Zack was shirtless and Nudge was sitting on a table while Zack was kissing her neck.

"Zack?" I asked. I was shocked. I didn't know what to do. my brother was making out with a woman in that way and that too in the classroom?

Zack and Nudge pushed eachother away from themselves as they saw me. Zack seamed weird and his eyes were not normal. his eyes were darker that usual. there were something more. his back seamed weird. I stepped in the classroom and noted that his back had huge bones that has brown feathers on. I tembled as I could see that he has wings. I was shocked. my brother is a freck!

I stepped back as Zack said, "Max, calm down. it's not what you think it is."

"Max? Zack, I thought that your sister's name is Maya," Nudge said.

Zack ignored her and speed near me as I yelled, "You are a freck, Zack!"

Zack seamed hurt as he said, "Max, you don't understand . . ."

"STAY AWAY FROM ME!" I yelled as I ran away from the classroom. tears were running down my eyes. Zack, even though he is my step brother, I always thought of him as my brother but he is a monster? how the heck Zack even got wings? it doesn't make sense. I ran and somehow found a door and started to ran and soon realize that I was in a forest.

Great! now I am in a forest and I have no idea how to go home. I sat down on a huge tree trunk as started to cry. the brother that I thought I knew so well is a feck. Zack is not normal. he is not. I started to cry as I remembered how he always used to cheer me when I am upset. how can Zack do this to me? how? I cried harder.

suddenly, I heard somebody running and felt somebody touching my back. I whipped my tears and I turned around, finding Fang looking at me confusingly.

"I told you to stay in you locker," Fang said.

I turned around and bit my lips not wanting to cry. Fang sat beside me and said, "you are crying?"

without saying anything, I burst into tears. "Fang, Zack is a freck! he has wings," I cried. I didn't know why but I wanted to tell Fang what happened. I knew he would push me away saying how silly I am since he hates me but instead he said, "Zack is not a freck."

I looked at him, confusingly. "Zack got wings, Fang. he is a monster."

I saw Fang becoming upset and sat as he said, "Stop crying over such a stupid thing. we have our school work to do. I don't know how to handle your types of girls who cries all the time." Fang said rudely and went back to school.

I began to cry more. I hated it. even though I knew that Fang doesn't love me and I did expect him to behave rudely to me but it hurts. why does it hurt so much, darn it. why?
